I was born and raised in the small town of Rupert, Idaho. Both of my parents were born in Mexico, eventually winding up in the Northwest with their families as they worked as migrant workers to make a better life for their own family. I spent some time living in Austin, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Nashville before settling in New York.

I have had some amazing musical experiences throughout my life which include performing on the stages of the Grand Ole Opry and Radio City Music Hall as well as performing to a crowd of 10,000 people in Indianapolis, Indiana. Through my involvement with the renowned Christ Church Choir in Nashville, I was able to record and perform with the likes of Carman, Charlie Daniels, Kim Boyce, Dolly Parton and many others. I was also a part of a couple of video shoots with Bill Gaither's Homecoming Series which are still seen on television to this day. My back-up vocalist experience had just started to pick up when I followed my heart and relocated to Long Island, New York. Music continued to be something that I was a part of while working with a couple of church choirs and a short stint in the wedding band industry. I was even a part of a dinner theater group for a short while. In 2004, I decided to make a change and went back to school to become a licensed hairstylist and have been working as such in the affluent community of The Hamptons on the East end of Long Island.

Here we are in 2020 and WOW!!! A lot of lives have been changed with the Covid-19 pandemic. Reevaluation of what's important and how I want to spend the next chapter of my life has definitely been brought to the forefront of my thinking. During a forced quarantine, Mark Chadwick and I decided to start recording a couple of my favorite love songs from the past which turned into 10 different kinds of love songs. 2 original songs as well as 4 classic Mexican songs in various styles. Pop. Dance. Jazz. We did it all!

This project, Love's The Only Way, has been a labor of love and I can't wait for everyone to hear it.
